Political Ad for Pamela Gorman for Congress

Hat tip to Hot Air for the link. Do enough of a gun aficnado to know what pistol she is firing.

[Riley]

Trigger control ma’am- trigger control.

Damn, she likes her toys BIG! First pistol looks like a .45 by how it kicks. Can’t make out make/model. Revolver might be a .38?

And yes, def. NOT guilty!

[PapaBear3625]

[Lurker]

So not guilty.

[Uncle Miltie]

[Melas]

Not to pick, but why does the M16 or variation thereof seem to kick more in the video than the Thompson? I’ve fired both weapons and the Thompson is a beast that’s almost impossible to control. In this vid, she’s in complete control of the Thompson, but both handguns and the rifle rock her whole body. I strongly suspect that she’s firing blanks in the Thompson.

So Not Guilty it’s not even funny.

"both handguns and the rifle rock her whole body"

Ahem, sir, may I volunteer for that duty?

The Thompson has a compensator. I don't know what Tommy you shot but they are one of the easiest to control sub guns.

that semi auto pistol she is rapid firing is pointed all over the place. Those last couple shots were off into the air somewhere.

[C19fan]

Basically keep a healthy distance from her when she is firing a gun, hee hee.

[calex59]

Sorry, but the Thompson is also setting her back. Notice how she is holding it, this keeps her from feeling the recoil as much, since the butt is being held under her arm and not against her shoulder. I would say she learned her lesson about holding the Thompson on her shoulder!

[karnage]

The Thompson a beast, you say? I beg to differ! The gun’s heft reduces its recoil to a mere nudge. My petite wife handles it with ease.

VOTE GORMAN!

I know nothing of her policies or politics, but anyone with the gumption to put out such an ad in politically-correct 2010 deserves to win!

I believe the standard issue military version (M1A1) did not have the Cutts Compensator.

Anything that gets the autocopulating, too-smart-by-half, liberal pantywastes favorite BVD’s into a tight little wad works for me.

(the goo-tube comments are priceless)

[Recon Dad]

The semi kicked like a .45 the pistol shot like a 357. That’s my best guess.

[Recon Dad]

Yeah, she was doing fine on everything except the 45. Looked like she was holding on for dear life.
